FOUNDER AND FIRESTARTER

PETE LAWRENCE

Welcome to Campfire. I have spent many years bringing people together to
make exciting things happen. As founder of the Big Chill Festival,
independent record label Cooking Vinyl and as organiser of many online
and offline events, I realise how much people value being part of a
community of like minds. I’m hopeful that Campfire will be the place where
all types of people gather to enjoy and support each other and create
sparks. I look forward to watching it grow.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

This is the start of something big. It will involve engagement: not just tweets and likes and swipes, but thoughtful and creative social and political action too. It will involve realising that some things we’ve taken for granted - some semblance of truth in reporting, for example - can no longer be expected for free. If we want good reporting and good analysis, we’ll have to pay for it. That means MONEY: direct financial support for the publications and websites struggling to tell the non-corporate, non-establishment side of the story.
